As a reaction to this conundrum, we now have the number one album Unapologetic. The album pays homage to her urban radio roots (because, let's be honest, when was the last time Rihanna had a song that actually DESERVED to be played on an R&B/hip hop radio station"?) with tracks such as "Presh Off the Runway," "Numb, "Pour It Up," and "Loveeeee Song." These were the songs that took the longest for me to warm up to, but they end up adding to my positive view of the album as a whole when I finally did. They are located at the beginning of the record, sandwiched between the ubiquitous and delightful "Diamonds," which is oddly enough not the strongest song on the record (a good thing for future single choices!).
Right as the urban section started, it ends, bringing us to the pop hits that Rih has been made famous for. "Jump" and "Right Now" are the songs that her record label put on there just in case some of the other more risky songs end up flopping. Right Now is miles away from Jump in terms of quality, and if either of these see radio play (which I hope they don't because there are better songs on here), I would prefer Jump due to its unique production and lack of cliches that plague Right Now.
Next are the two best songs on the album. "What Now" is a midtempo power ballad that explores the registers that I didn't even know Rih had. The piano riff is wonderful and the bridge and outro make the song absolutely perfect. But STAY. THIS is where the album's opus happens. This is her most powerful ballad to date, and one of the strongest songs she has recorded. Definitely one of the best songs on the record. It would have been FAR better as a solo version. I hope we end up getting that eventually!
Now comes my one gripe: Nobody's BIDness. K. So Chris just didn't need to ruin an otherwise musically tight production. I just skip over it every time. Professional reviewers have been giving her flack for this (which I agree a certain degree of flack is needed), but that has made them ignore the actual quality of the album itself. Oh well. Her and her label's loss I guess.
The album ends on a much better note than track 10, however. Love Without Tragedy is FINALLY a two-songs-in-one track from Rih (I was wondering when she was going to do this...we got kinda close with Birthday Cake and Cockiness on Talk That Talk). I would give LWT the edge over MM, but they are both good and compliment each other well.
Get It Over With is one of the more forgettable tracks on the record. Nothing really stands out about it.
No Love Allowed is the track we get on every Rihanna album that is directly inspired by her Barbadiosan roots. It is very similar in lyrical content to Man Down off of Loud, but I like this one better. Lost in Paradise is very intense, and I love it.
HALF OF ME is worth buying on iTunes! Emeli Sande is a wonderful songwriter and the song's production is awesome!
Overall, this is her best album since Rated R (which I don't think she will ever top to be honest) and a worthy purchase that you WILL be hearing if they actually decide to release singles from the album for more than a year...

This album like the previous 3 was rushed and had her still recording vocals almost 2 weeks prior to the release date which shows on some tracks that have virtually no lyrics and are uninspiring; one other thing that I must comment on is how distasteful I find her use of the 'n' word on some of these songs. I wish that word would be abolished or there was some magic memory loss drug to make everyone forget it but I digress.
The songs that I really like are:
GET IT OVER WITH - although I get that this song is a kind of "ratchet" ode to weed, the production is dreamy and evokes the feeling of floating on a high;
DIAMONDS - Rih sounds great singing this song that is like an "earworm" with just enough lyrics so that I was able to quickly learn them to sing along;
FRESH OFF THE RUNWAY - I had a sense of deja vu the 1st time I heard this song & after listening to it a few times, I realized that it reminds me of a Kelis track called, 'AW S***'. Although Kelis' was produced by Bangledesh, both songs feature frentic production as the artists kind of rap/sing over the music;
WHAT NOW - I like how softly this song begins and builds to her belting out the chorus of 'what now';
STAY f/ Mikky Ekko - very interesting ballad on which her vocals shine;
NOBODY'S BUSINESS f/ Chris Brown - when I saw the track listing, I viewed this as another PR stunt much like BDAY CAKE earlier this year. A tactic to get people talking about the album, their relationship, THEM period. However it is a well constructed enjoyable song that sounds like a late '80s track and finds Chris doing his best Michael Jackson impersonation as they trade verses about their relationship status being "nobody's bid-ness" but theirs;
HALF OF ME - great autobiographical lyrics which ring true given how she has to live out loud due to the heavy paparazzi presence around her but we don't really know the real her
LOVE WITHOUT TRAGEDY - a really good ballad whose lyrics touch (again) on her beating and;
DIAMONDS (David Aude remix) - love it! He was able to exceed the original by speeding it up a bit and adding a phat beat that made it sound more like a dance anthem.
The tracks that I can take or leave are:
NUMB - this is a really lazy track as there are basically no lyrics but the music production is interesting (wish I could get an instrumental);
JUMP - although I don't care for the lyrics, the arrangement makes me want to dance;
RIGHT NOW - feels like a "been there, done that" track, it's not special nor does it stand out;
LOVEEEEEEE SONG f/ Future - I like how her lyrics were sung in a higher register and sound sweet vs his auto-tuned vocals (especially at the end as they sing together) and;
POUR IT UP - again, dicey lyrics but great arrangement/production.
Finally I don't like:
MOTHER MARY - very dreary 2nd half of a long song, it doesn't really go anywhere (although I do like the line that references her growing up on an island never dreaming she'd become such a big star);
NO LOVE ALLOWED - forced "breezy" sounding island track;
LOST IN PARADISE - truly unremarkable track and;
DIAMONDS (Gregor Salto downtempo remix) - just don't care for his arrangement of the song.
On the superficial side, although the album is housed in digi-casing, it's certainly the most original I have bought thus far. It's bigger than traditional cd packaging and contains both the cd & dvd as well as a pictorial booklet (which unfortunately feature a lot of pics of her smoking and/or drinking) and the album liner notes (which although squeezed onto one side is presented much better than the TTT liner notes so that I can actually read it). The dvd is a brief glimpse of her upcoming LOUD tour dvd.
I rated the album as "ok" because oddly the more I listen to it, the less I like it. Overall I don't enjoy this album more than her previous releases but the positives are: there are a few songs that I do like, I can hear improvement in her singing (although the smoking isn't going to help in the long run) and I admire the fact that she & her producers/song writers switch it up every time and try to have her cover multiple genres so that she can appeal to a wide audience of music lovers.
I'd recommend this deluxe version to fans because of the extra tracks and the dvd.
